FAN FEATURE FRIDAY #96 - METROPOLIS EDITION

Oracle: "Calling in any Justice League members available. Darkseid has been spotted with an army of Parademons in Metropolis! Superman is already on the scene, we need any backup we can get!"

This week, we’re taking a look at some of DC’s biggest names. Check out these sweet pics from Peter, Alonzo, Edward, and Bryan!

Name: Peter
Location: New York, US
Inspiration: It took me a long time to think of a perfect shot of my Mezco Superman '78. I didn't want to go the conventional route of using artificial lighting, and so, on a snowy day in New York, the natural lighting was cold enough to convey the mood of the Fortress of Solitude. I shot the pic at a higher ISO to give it some natural grain and to emulate the film stock the original movie was shot on. I wanted the figure's pose to be heroic, but the shadows on him had to convey some sense of vulnerability. That's what I love about Christopher Reeve's portrayal - it had a sense of humanity amidst the grandeur.

Name: Alonzo
Location: Alabama, US
Inspiration: Here Superman is subjected to bow down to Darkseid with one last chance to pull off a miracle death blow.

Name: Edward
Location: Texas, US
Inspiration: The inspiration for the photo came from remembering this scene from the end of the movie where Superman surveys the earth from space and smiles because all is well. I took this photo because the scene is peaceful and promising which is something that we need a little bit more of in current times.

Name: Bryan
Location: New York, US
Inspiration: Darkseid is one of the most imposing villains out there and I wanted to portray him as such. I thought this background was a perfect one to have him stand against, which matched his colors, and made him look as if you’re about to face his deadly judgement.
